Transcript SQRP

What is the SQRP?
 The School Quality Rating Policy (SQRP) is the Board of
Education’s policy for evaluating school performance.
 It establishes the indicators of school performance and
growth and the benchmarks against which a school’s
success will be evaluated on an annual basis.
 Through this policy, each school will receive a School
Quality Rating and an Accountability Status.

purposes:
 Communicating to parents and community members about the
academic success of individual schools and the district as a whole;
 Recognizing high achieving and high growth schools and identifying
best practices;
 Providing a framework for goal-setting for schools;
 Identifying schools in need of targeted or intensive support; and
 Guiding the Board’s decision-making processes around school
actions and turnarounds.

Key changes in new policy
“Old” Performance Policy
SY14-15 School Quality Rating Policy
• Metrics centered on assessments,
attendance, and progress towards
graduation
•
Metrics better aligned to district’s
strategic action plan, e.g., college
enrollment, persistence, priority student
group growth, 5Essentials
• Three levels of school performance
•
Five-tier rating to more effectively
differentiate schools
• Evaluates Option schools using traditional
high school metrics
•
New Option School model more
targeted to the students served
• ISAT is the main elementary assessment
•
Significant changes to ISAT in next few
years makes it unstable for year to year
comparisons; replace with NWEA MAP
• Uses CPS historical benchmarks
•
Performance benchmarks are tied to
national standards where possible
• Does not account for test participation
•
Target test participation rate of 95%
